De Vinci's Delicatessen — Restaurant in Stockton

Update: Thursday, August 7, 2025 PM My rating shall remain at two stars. Their pasta is generally OK. My son likes their cheese tortellini. My taste varies the spaghetti, raviolis, lasagna.

But here’s the kicker. Their minestrone soup SUCKS‼️ It’s just a bunch of vegetables thrown in the pot and simmered. No flavor. No pizzazz. Just a bunch of stewed vegetables. I will never order their minestrone soup again Do you want some good minestrone soup? Try Angelina‘s‼️ Let’s move onto the garlic bread with cheese. That certainly needs some love. The bread part is OK. But it certainly needs more butter sauce. And after the cheese is on it needs to be toasted better. It’s very anemic and albino looking! Come on da Vinci‘s… Can you do better❓❓ ————————- Update: Wednesday, February 12, 2025 ‼️DO NOT GO HERE FOR A SANDWICH‼️👎🏻 They offer Swiss cheese but they don’t have it. They offer Dutch crunch roll…they don’t have it. They offer eight kinds of meat. They only have four. I wanted a tri-tip or roast beef, which they supposedly offer. They didn’t have it so I settled for pastrami. It was OK but there certainly wasn’t enough pastrami on there to make it worth over $11. My point… Do NOT depend on da Vinci’s for sandwiches‼️🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏻 ————————— UPDATE: Sunday, August 25, 2024 PM My son picked up two orders from here. I had the lasagna/ravioli dinner. The raviolis are almost tasteless. They need more seasoning or more sauce. The lasagna was good although what I received must’ve been setting out too long and had hard crust of cheese on the top. The dinner comes with a salad. They give you a generous portion with plenty of beans. It is supposed to come with fougasse bread but they forgot to include it. My son had the cheese tortellini. He was happy with that. I also got a quart of Dale spaghetti. This order came to right around $50! Considering all the pasta we had, we should’ve got a good portion of the grated Parmesan cheese. Instead we got this thimble full… Maybe a tablespoon full of the cheese for all that pasta‼️ That’s ridiculous! Spend $50 and you can’t afford Parmesan cheese to put on all that pasta? What’s up with that De Vinci’s❓❓ ————————

Pretty good pasta. I like the raviolis and spaghetti. Tonight I had the spaghetti and minestrone soup. Both were good. My son loves the cheese tortellini.

The service was outstanding. Friendly and helpful staff!

Don’t forget, they have a drive up window so you don’t even have to get out...

There’s something strange about the corner in Stockton. Not eerie—no. But... magnetic. Like some hidden force tugging at your hunger, whispering ancient cravings from beneath the cracked sidewalks and flickering streetlights. That force? It's De Vinci’s Delicatessen. And it doesn’t just feed you—it possesses you.

I stepped through their modest entrance on a sunlit afternoon, the door chime echoing like a bell in a forgotten church. The scent hit me first—fresh bread, warm herbs, garlic, and that ever-so-faint, seductive promise of slow-roasted miracles. My order was simple, or so I thought: the legendary Tri-Tip sandwich on their homemade focaccia bread.

Now let me tell you—this wasn’t bread. It was a relic. Thick but soft, crispy edges brushed with oil, speckled with rosemary like some ancient script written by a hungry demigod. The Tri-Tip was piled on like a sacrificial offering—tender, perfectly charred on the edges, the smoky flavor locked in like a spell.

And the minestrone? My God. It didn’t come in a bowl—it arrived in a portal. Each spoonful took me somewhere else. Cannellini beans like smooth river stones. Zucchini, tomato, onion—each vegetable so fresh it felt like it had been plucked from a cursed garden moments before hitting the pot. The broth was deep and comforting, like the embrace of something old and kind... and maybe just a little haunted.

There was, of course, her. The woman on the phone. Loud, obnoxious, the kind of person who thinks everyone’s life needs to hear about her overdue dental work and gym drama. Her voice cut through the room like a rusty saw through Sunday peace. But even she couldn’t ruin the atmosphere. No demon could.

Because once you take a bite at De Vinci’s, you belong to it. And it belongs to you. Forever.

Five stars. But be warned: the craving...

🤨 Well my first impression was Hhhmm we want Italian food and only reason we stopped was that sign said ravioli at the end of sign statement. No other signage around building except drive thru sign. DOZENS of phone books on ground wet after 2dys after Christmas at 4pm open 11am ok walk around them fine, thought place was packed nope all but 1 upfront parking taken by employees, ok I parked to see my loaded up truck. ALRIGHT HEAR WE GO !!! "0" welcoming " ZERO", the older lady of the bunch that got off at 430pm seemed like we were bothering her, we got the come on know what you want !!! I then stated this is our first time here 🧐, CRICKETS!!! NO explanation , no welcome in this is how it goes NOTHING !!! Now the good.... food is 💣 for real, what I'm saying is the food was great !! Salad with creamy Italian dressing, cheese ravioli Alfredo so buttery delicious, lasagna OMG good, garlic cheese bread yup yup the food a 10, Wife and I will be taking the 35+ min drive back for the food. We actually liked that she put our food in containers instead of on a plate. ASk for a plate if eating there, was not offered a plate was put in containers straight off, but we actually liked that as we share and can't finish the meal between us. Did not take pictures, food served in plastic containers would not have done justice...
